----- i - o - - v 'HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." JJMN XIII. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY. 24 1912. NUMBER 29 publicans, Where and What? . Editor: Colonel V. S. Lusk ie Charlotte Observer of De berl2th, 1911, delivered his idside against Mr. Taft, and to i my life, I cannot see a thing -is article save a lament over loaves and fishes. Is it pos e that the Kepublican party in th Carolina has abandoned all cjpie and is out after the little Nonage the president has to dis Are not the principles b the party has stood for all e years, and the laws it has ed upon the statute books giv protection to the products of farm and the factory and to laborer iu all pursuits sufficient ods why we should s and by president regardless of the few 1 offices to be distributed! President in his speech at Insboro in 1906 told the Ke nans an unpleasant truth, if I leeaud interpret this speech it, There was nothing in it ake us mad or insult us, but h noiice to the fly-blowing pie ters to mend their ways or get I The Colonel lays a great deal ie?s on the appointment of e Conner, (I don't endorse iappointment myself.) Every ablican in the State who knows thing about party affairs, knows 1 4 if the Republicans bad en ed a good man, and stood by like decent men should, a Re lican would have been appoint y the President I wonder if Lusk can name a single Re lican in the State (it matters love good his character, or how petent he is for the offfce) who ies for a position and is named e President, who is not at rassailed by the fly-blowers toad slingers of his own party all kinds of charges will be ght damaging to his moral intellectual fitness for the po a, and if it is thought neces , Democratic help (always rea will be employed even Demo te attorneys with briefs will en to Washington and lend r help to the assassination of applicants good name and to demoralization of the party. Taft had sense enough to see and advised us to stop it, he at no insult; ai d thousands of sspectable Republicans as there in the State were not insulted egraded by what the President j "Evil to him who evil ks." 6w with that phaze of the 6ub tI am done. The next ques at issue is Mr. Taft a Repub i! Col. Lusk claims the dis- $ :on of having organized the Republican party in the State, he should know what a Repnb I is. I have one proposition abmit: If Mr. Taft stood by Republican principles of the lblican party when he vetoed Otton, wool and farmers free tariff bills in the vear 1911 the Republicans who voted the Democrats and nelned to pass those tariff bills true blicans? If not, what are Mr. Taft needs no defense 7 hands, and I shall attemDt I think he is just as good leQ we elected him. He is nly trying to carry out the )ru pledge of his party, and ing to enforce the laws, if have made the party unpop the President is not to blame. (Party i8 divided and one is in pursuit of the strange N "Initiative, Referendum peal" and the other is sign er the "fle8h pots of Egypt" halt of his. If the Repub fparty loses the presidency in 'publicans or so-called Be fans will be to blame. I, for prefer defeat with honor and y' than victory with dishon hale. abandonment of the .t m convention in 1912 for the purpose ot organizing a ngnt over a few federal offices, that a Democratic president 4 'might have to hand out after March 4, 1913!" If so, let's try and decide before hand, whether we are Re publicans for pie, patronage and plunder; or Republicans for prin ciple, protection, and piosperity, with a few grains of old time pa triotism thrown in for good me as ure. It we are. Republicans for Revenue only" let's not publish our shame to the world. Letrs meet in some dark corner and at night and draft a platform, pass some resolutions and put them in in envelope and seal and file away until after the election and swear every attendant upon our deliber ations to profound secrecy until after a Republican is elected, and then we can turn" loose and fight like "Kil Kenny Cats" for the next four years. In conclusion, if Mr. Taft is not a Republican, let's nom inate one who is, provided we can determine what a true Republican is, before the nominating conven tion meets. Let's hunt up the old blue back speller and take a peep at the dog crossing the creek and seeing his Bhadow, drops the beef from its mouth in its pursuit of the shadow. E. H. Morbis. What Taft Said at Greensboro. Justice, in Union Republican. No man has been more persist ently misrepresented than Mr. Taft as to what he said at Greens boro when he addressed the Re publican Convention. I sat in ten feet of him and heard every word he said from the first to the last, and while I do not pretend to quote his exact words I am sure I can give the substance and he not only did not say what Brother Harshaw says he did, but as a matter of fact he said just the contrary. Here is what he said in substance: "It has been said you are not a party in the South, but are simply an aggregation of politicians gotten together for the purpose of holding the offices and controlling the pa tronage. Now if this is so, I say to yon, that you would be a better fighting party if every office was tilled by a Democrat. But I am glad to say this cannot be so iu North Carolina for I see before me as fine a body of men as any State can boast of and I know that in the last election you cast over eighty-six thousand votes.'' Free School Books. Mr. Editor: With this short ar ticle I am done with this discuss ion. I hardly expected my friend Taylor to descend to such little personalities as filled his last ar ticle. Nor did I expect to be mis represented. I said nothing about the "Socialists making. Paupers" of those Kansas children, and he knows it. Every intelligent per son in the State knows that ''free schools" were established primar ily for the benefit of those unable to educate their children, and Mr. Taylor knows that the State cannot tax all the people for free schools, and then exclude the children ol any class from attendance. The public schools are open for all the people, and there is no reason why I should be taxed for free schools and then not get the benefits. While I am opposed to free books if the State taxes ice to buy them, my children should have the same privileges as others. Aa for the resolution Mr. Taylor advises me to introduce in the next Republi can convention I wish to advise him that I have never as yet been "bored for the simples." Mr. Tay lor seems to think I wait until af ter the election to speak my senti ments. I wish to advise him, that it seems that I am speaking my sentiments before the election in this instance. I may be a coward, but I have not shown it in this discussion, neither have I descend ed to little personalities in order to bolster up a weak case. When ever the Republican party adopts the Socialists platform, I will no longer officiate with them "bolt ing again"--I guess. Whenevei all the people are taxed to pay the fiddler, .all the people should be allowed to dance. What I have writ, I have writ, with nothing to take back and no apologies to make. E. II. MORRfS. Kick Out The Middleman. Southern Fruit Grower. Many people have been led to believe that duriDg these high cost of living times the farmers are get tiug rich. This is a mistaken idea. The American farmer hardly aver ages 40 cents on the consumer's dollar. So there seems to be some thing wrong somewhere. We need something to brijg the farmer and and the food consumer closer to gether The man that will devise such means will be more than an inventor a benefactor of the kind that has not lived for years. How to be a Dude. La 'g Lash. Ye3 sir gentlemen, The Lash is a general iLformation Bureau and can furnish firs-class advice on any subject from parchin' peanuts to manufacturing locomotives. Just now we are over-stocked with ad. vice, and in order to get rid of it we are offering to give it away. Here is a chunk you may have. A dude is a critter that should ba flanked by all who prefer a genuine article to an imitation. They are sometimes natural con sequences of parental pampering and other times they happen just like a wart. A dude can be made out of most any sorry brainless sou-of-a-rich father. Any blubbering tool can follow our instructions and finally blossom out into society a gradu ated, glorious,glass eyed, good-for-nothing dude. Dudes are young bucks who consider it very bad manners to' do anything useful. They are so cial and financial grub-worms. A dude is an empty place with clothes on. He is a thing that a dudene goes crazy over. You can take a dude and a dudene and put them together and figure up the result, and here's your answer: 'Nothing plus nothing equals nofhingl" A girl who would marry a dude would marry a poodle-dog if it wore breeches and walked with a cane. And yet lots of girls prefer that soft of a thing instead of some affectionate young fellow with brain and muscle who has hewn his way to wealth and success through years of adversity. The first thing, if you are a good for nothing, -cigarette smoking darn phool of a swell, without sense or character enough to slop a gang of sueys. go to the clothing sfore and draw on your father's account to the sum of a fine suit of clothes, yellow shoes, and a hat about two-and a half numbers smaller than your sinil;n, and when yon get yourself rigged up, then shut your eyes and make a blind leap into the society swimming hole. Buy yourself a five cent pocket. mirror and admire your beauty, in it every five minutes during the day. Manifest a self made hatred for all decent associ ates, and never go to church with less than ten cents worth of chew ing guni wedged in your sausage mill. Chew all the while during services at the rate of 400 revolu tions-per minute. Don't bow your head during prayer, it is unbecom ing a dude, but sit erect with one leg horizontaled across the aisle. When church is over, your next solemn duty is to swagger up to some sap headed girl dressed like a Chester cheese, and make a break down the road like a hired man going to dinner. Keep up your flirtation till you can arrange for a swell wedding, then move over to your fatfier in law's home and bum on him till he hurU the copper toe of a bull skin boot against your afterwards and takes your widow to feed and then you may drift back into the tide from whence you sprung, unwept, unhonored and and the gable of your once magniti cent breeches halfsoled with a hemp sack. 0 MID-WINTER CLEARANCE SALE!
